I’m so proud of our locals like @AFT_Local_212 for partnering with students to engage them and encourage them to turn out to vote. This election will decide so much of our future, and it’s essential that our students are informed! https://t.co/FMHE8EI1xQ
@fedingram Anna Varley, @AFT_Local_212: Every semester, I begin my English class with the question: Why read? The most powerful answers were from our students that are parents, who don’t have time to read. This #ReadingOpensTheWorld Little Free Library protect is for them.
@fedingram@AFT_Local_212 Fun fact! The Little Free Libraries are built by carpentry students at MATC and they’ll be at all of the children’s centers on MATC campuses. #ReadingOpensTheWorld
@fedingram@AFT_Local_212@MayorMKE 100%, Dr. Lisa Conley! Literacy is a right, and it is a voting issue. It boils down to freedom and the right to pursue your potential. #AFTvotes
We’re out and about in Milwaukee distributing books to the Little Free Libraries with @AFT_Local_212 President Dr. Lisa Conley & @FedIngram. If you see us dropping books, come and say hello! #ReadingOpensTheWorld
Dreamers & immigrants need opportunities to thrive. New immigration actions by @POTUS@VP promote family unity & stability. The community roundtable hosted by @WhiteHouseIGA46 in WI highlighted that. AFT #highered pres. Lisa Conley thank you for representing us.
Amazing work here, making our #highered campuses a better place for all AND supporting a new generation of advocates. 👏💪@AFT_Local_212@AFTunion

Every day, paraprofessionals and school support professionals help kids learn, grow, and thrive in our schools. Today, we thank them for all that they do. Share the graphics below to show your appreciation for paraprofessionals in your community! @PSRP_AFT
A win in the ongoing fight for fair maps! 💯 For over a decade, extreme partisan gerrymandered maps has been the norm. Now voters who have been ignored and excluded, especially Black and brown voters, have a chance to be heard. We commend the Supreme Court on this decision!
Faculty can help lead the charge to address student emergency needs -- thanks to @AFTunion for highlighting the work of our FAST Funds, which started with a partnership with @AFT_Local_212 in #Milwaukee! https://t.co/i6TkSmmvNb
Honored and excited to have the support of @AFT_Local_212, MATC as I run for re-election. I always put working families first and this campaign will always be union strong.
